Crystals and Gemstones
Why do some people believe that Gemstones and Crystals hold magic or healing abilities?
Gemstones are made up of minerals. It is the minerals that are in the stones that are thought to have the ability to accumulate, absorb, channel and give energy. These minerals combined with the metals that may be chosen to accompany the stones, if they are to be made into jewelry, is also a factor to be considered when choosing a crystal or gemstone for it’s healing or magical influence and abilities.
The color of the stone also has meaning and properties as well. Learning the meanings of colors will aid a person in choosing the stone that is desired for a particular purpose.
Even after one has learned the purpose, meaning, properties and abilities of a particular stone or crystal, there is yet another step to take.
Feel.
Each individual stone has an energy of it’s own. Perhaps you have chosen an amethyst for your purpose. Not any amethyst will do.
Use your own senses now to choose the right stone. Touch it. Feel it. Having many to choose from is most advantageous.
Let your sense of sight take a back seat for a moment and allow your more intuitive senses to take over.
What do you want this stone for?
Does this stone feel right for your purpose?
Do you have a purpose in mind, or is a certain stone calling you?
I find the best stones I have, are the ones I allowed myself to be guided to.
